I got the same impression as Sunny. Plus there is your screen name. You didn't choose Indifferent Girl.

There are genuinely people out there with a limited need for connection and attachment, and that's fine. It was believed by everyone from my therapist to me that I was one of those people.

But as I learned and grew in therapy, I discovered that quite the opposite was true. I had a deep need for attachment. So deep that I was afraid that needing someone would mean being hurt. And it does, a bit.

Have you been to therapy to explore this? I think that with the right therapist, this is one of the issues therapy is best at.
